Installation
Indicator: comes on when the disk drive is active. Do not remove the
diskette from the drive when the indicator light is on.
Panel LED's: The three front panel LEDs indicate communication line activity:

Display When the controller is initialized, (or the OS button is pressed), the
controller executes a self-test diagnostics which is stored in ROM.
The LEDs should all light and then should flash. Also the
ALPHANUMERIC display should light. The currently running
diagnostics test is displayed on the ALPHNUM display.
If the diskette has been inserted in the disk drive, the operating
system should load automatically. At the conclusion of the
diagnostics and loading operation, the ALPHNUM display should
show “* 3494 *”, “3494 E” (for Ethernet) or “3494 T” (for Token-
Ring).
Should an error occur during start-up, an error code will begin
flashing on the display. Refer to Appendix-A for a description of
the error codes.
ATTENTION: Do not remove the diskette while the controller is
loading the operating system.
Panel Keys Four panel keys provide system override functions; three are used
to load a different stand-alone application from the System
diskette, while the fourth -- the
HALT key, stops Controller
operation.

is engaged in host communications. Advise the users in session
that the system is going down before pressing any of these keys.
